I remember how we (well, my parents since I was a kid) would buy plane tickets and make sure they were in the non-smoking section of the airplane. Trapped in a metal tube with a bunch of people puffing away in the back and it was only slightly less dense in our section.

Smoking is sooo stupid and caustic to everyone.

And he shouldn't. That's just outright dangerous to other players because he's an asshole trying to hurt people. If he was on the field again with our teams he'd start having strange injuries if the Umps didn't get his ass out of there.

Having been through one, I wouldn't wish a divorce on anyone. They're really shitty to live through. That said, they're better than living in a horrible situation. If the marriage is over then end it. You'll deal with the divorce and come out the other side with a chance to be happy instead of what you have now, which is no chance at all. Your children will be okay. Many of kids make it through, especially if you take the high road, get everyone counseling, and let them know it's not their fault

It's that 2,485 miles in the EU notation would be 3.9992 kilometers in the US notation. It's the comma being used for the decimal separator for the miles. That made the bot think it was 2.485 miles (in US notation), which became 3.9992 kilometers. The UnitConversionBot is having trouble with their parsing and number notation for US vs EU systems.

Inkjets have a few edge case uses. For the other 99.9% of printing needs, get a laser printer. No HP, though. They're openly evil. I'm classically a Brother printer user since my HP LJ4 finally died. Getting a stack feed for the scanner is a great upgrade, but make sure it duplexes to scan both sides automatically. They've got a couple of models that are single sided stack scanners, so you get to manually merge which is really annoying.

DARVO is something everyone should learn about. Once you know how it works, you see it everywhere when abusers and narcissists are nearby: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/_LgnGGhmIrI

Ironically, that video suggests you let the police deal with evil people... such is the Catch 22 of society.

That's a particularly niche sense of humor you have.

There are very few things I miss from the US now that I'm in the EU. Costco Polish Dogs are one of them. If they could bring 1,50 Costco dogs to here, I'd be quite okay with that.

You had to lean into the front wheel. Leaning back reduces that valuable contact friction. You only get to really lean back once you're up to speed and not on an incline. Source: WAY too many hours on my bigwheel when I was young and spry.

In that case, we just bomb it ourselves to prevent it from being captured and then make a new one. HUGE win for both the boat builder and the bomb maker billionaires.

A core feature of conservatives is that they don't care about anything that doesn't affect them personally. Until they're in pain they won't lift a finger to help someone.

You mean the GOP leadership that's been mostly running things for those 8 years? How about the 30 years prior that was mostly GOP/right wing capitalism destroying the hard-won protections the US had after the New Deal and Nixon-era EPA laws? "Deregulation" is just the soft-worded way for "we want the billionaires to own you and poison you as they see fit" and the GOP has been beating that drum hard since Regan.

India's government has finally started admitting that *just maybe* they need to build more trains for the frakkin huge mobs of humans they're trying to move around.

Americans go to other countries to get reasonably priced medical procedures. People from other countries come to America to try their hand at winning the lawsuit roulette game.

Was the one posted on the official white house socials of the US President flying fighter jets to drop shit on American Citizens a Russian bot account? How about when he basically stole the Purple Heart from the veteran? The "man" is a lying conman draft dodger who wishes he was brave and steals from the military along with stealing from the nation. MAGA LOVES him for it. They wish they could be that awful in public too.

The March 12th video is definitely AI-d, but I'm not sure beyond the background how much. The mouth doesn't line up with the audio all of the time. I don't watch much video of this guy, but having a background that's fake flags and curtains along with the clothes being weird in their movements doesn't give it a ton of credibility.

#2 I haven't looked in quite a while, but the classic Political Compass put Sanders barely left of center. I always wondered why in the US I had to vote for someone to the right me no matter what.

There was also a decline in unplanned pregnancies in the late 1970's into the 1980's, which does have a positive effect on crime.

I'd call it clickbait, but I'm sure there's a better term for what drew us in.

I'm doing the same thing, but in Berlin. The only train rides that have gotten old are the trams in Potsdam. They're *way* undersized, need about twice the trains running, and who picked that narrow body for the cars? It's like they assumed they're only ever have a few riders at once and not everyone commuting (which is kind of the goal, right?).

Republicans hate who they're told to hate. The billionaires want to undermine Canada so they're wielding the stupid against the Great White North.
